This use case could also be covered with a similar technical solution. The device decides what features will be allowed to run.

If the political willpower for a better solution exists, the technical side is readily solved.

If one is going through the hassle of joining a video call on a different device to then scan it with their smartphone, all to just connect with another person, you could reasonably assume that they're friends.

Maybe if there's a "celebrity" that displays it on a live stream, that's a bigger issue, but there could be other mechanisms to dissuade this behaviour. Perhaps you could only add one friend with one QR code.

What wild customisations are you talking about?

As someone who used Linux (Ubuntu, Fedora, OpenSuse, Arch) exclusively from 2010 and recently moved to bazzite, I only see positives from the switch.

Most of my usecases work OOTB, and for everything else I use a container workflow. I like that there are fewer ways to mess up upgrades. I like that flatpaks are well integrated.

As a long term linux user, I agree with the comments that essentially say: "you found a hobby and not an OS".

While I see that recommending a different distro seems like more change and more fiddling about, Bazzite is something to try out for sure. As long as you don't have a very complicated usecase, it really does get out of your way and remove a lot of the foot-guns you find on linux.

I really think it's ideal for a gamer usecase, and it's also great for a parent/casual user who does most of their work inside a browser anyway. As a programmer with a big distro-hopping past, I've switched to Bluefin/Bazzite on all my personal computers and things work well. I'm glad to have something that works well out of the box and glad to not think about the OS.

Private space is identical to work profile. In the past, private space didn't exist and people used work profile instead as a workaround, but now that's not needed.

Not OP, but I feel like moving from Google to Zoho is just kicking the can down the road. You don't know how these big corporations will change their product or (more importantly for cash strapped organisations like Universities) their pricing structure.

It seems like a much safer to bet to move to an open source project instead. The costs of hosting it would be well known and predictable.

Blocking the advertising itself only shields you from the advertising, it still lets these services set up the underlying surveillance/advertising system that harms society (and you) in the long run.

Of course it's not always possible, but it would be ideal to use services that don't have advertisements for anybody.

Container tabs and specifically Temporary Containers are the two things I always miss on non-Firefox browsers

I've been trying out Ptyxis for a few weeks now and it's quite nice to use with Distrobox or other containers. It's easy to set up profiles with particular docker containers and it automatically picks up distrobox containers.

It also has the "top bar color changes as a state indicator feature". eg: when I run a "zypper ref" the top bar goes red. The multi tab overview can be useful too, and it has a lot of color themes OOTB. These are nice touches.

Going by the pattern of the comment, I would assume this was a typo. Maybe they intended to say: "If it's no problem and we DON'T avoid it = No problem"

The simplest way of doing this would be to export your bitwarden vault in plaintext (as a json or csv) and then store it as a password protected zip file.

This should be easy to encrypt and decrypt on all operating systems, and would make it easy to move your vault to a new password manager.
